Erin and Josh on Atlantic Canada Travel

“Stop Working, Start Living”. Those powerful words grace the cover of the life-changing book “Quit Like a Millionaire”, expertly written by Kristy Shen and Bryce Leung. In this week’s episode, I have the opportunity to chat with Financial Independence, Retire Early (FIRE) guru Kristy Shen about all kinds of freedom – financial freedom, time freedom, freedom from stuff and location freedom. In our conversation, we discuss strategies to retire early, optimize your money and live your dream of travelling the world. We also dig into her evolving appreciation for the gray in FIRE and in life.

In this week’s episode, we get to know Crystal Richard (a.k.a. the East Coast Mermaid). I stumbled across Crystal on our trip to Atlantic Canada when her online blog made it feel like our family had a new best friend giving us a private, guided tour of Grand Manan Island. Together, we dig into her experience as an entrepreneur, how she finds creativity in storytelling and why we should all develop a coastal crush on New Brunswick.

What a treat it is this week to welcome Caroline Paul to the podcast! Caroline’s most recent book, Tough Broad: From Boogie Boarding to Wing Walking – How Outdoor Adventure Improves Our Lives as We Age, is incredibly insightful when it comes to learning about opportunities to pour into our own fulfillment. This is not just a book; it is a full-blown quest to explore and understand how to live a dynamic life, especially as we grow older. Together, we explore redefining adventure, the magic of nature, the importance of awe and why a positive view of aging is so critical to your health.
